FURST, RABBI MOSHE (MILTON)

Published: July 24, 2011

FURST--Rabbi Moshe (Milton). The entire Yeshiva University and Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary (RIETS) family of colleagues and friends are deeply grieved by the passing of a most devoted alumnus. A graduate of YC in 1943 and RIETS in 1946, Rabbi Furst served with distinction as the Executive Assistant to Dr. Samuel Belkin, the second president of Yeshiva University and RIETS, until his Aliyah to Israel in 1973, and was responsible for the Synagogue Campaign Division of RIETS. He and his wife Batya (Beatrice) Furst who predeceased him in 2005, were both deeply beloved by the members of the Rabbinic Alumni for their warmth, friendship and genuine commitment to strengthen RIETS and Yeshiva University together with members of their respective distinguished Bick and Furst families. Heartfelt condolences are extended to his devoted children, Zev (and Sandy) Furst, Aryeh and (Deborah) Furst, Malkah (and Dov) Cymbalista of Israel and his grandchildren and great-grandchildren, as well as to his beloved cousin, a Yeshiva University Trustee and Benefactor, Gerald (and Violet) Furst, the son of his beloved uncle and aunt, Sol and Hilda Furst, of blessed memory, for whom Furst Hall was named during his tenure. May the entire family be comforted among the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem. Yeshiva University and RIETS Richard M. Joel, President Norman Lamm, Chancellor and Rosh Hayeshiva
